Elf in Wood - cross stitch

Completed page 7 of 36.  Started this page 10/15/14 & finished it 10/27/14.  Total of 10 stitching days.  It's funny the ones I love doing I seem to take my time working on them.  I don't want to finish the pages because I know that Dragon Rip is right around the corner.  Yes, I love Dragon Rip, but just hate the fabric...and hate it even more after working with fabric that I enjoy.

Finally completed another row.  SOOOOO thrilled.  I finished pages 16, 17 & 18.  Started these pages 9/12/14 & finished them on 10/14/14.  Total actual stitching days were 19.  Not bad, but it helps when there is a bit of one color in the background.  He is coming along very nicely :0)

Periwinkle - cross stitch

Periwinkle by Rachel Anderson.  Page 3 completed.  Being stitched 1 over 1 on 28ct fabric.  I don't know what the fabric is but the pictures just don't do it justice.  It's dyed different shades of light green with yellow.  And then sparkles....love it :0).  Started stitching this page 8.29.14 & finished it 9.12.14.  Didn't stitch on it for just a couple of days.  Total stitching time for this WIP was 12 days.  First picture is the whole project, second picture is the closeup.

Danes in the Grove - Tasha

Every night when I make dinner I am yelling my head off to get the babies out of the kitchen.  It's the only time that this normally happens.  You would think after all of these years they would just get the hint.  When a pot comes out run for our lives.  Last night as I am making dinner Tasha just won't leave.  3 times of me telling get!!!!  Finally she leaves, runs to the couch & pouts.  This look says to me, but mommmmmm I love ham & potatoes

This morning I took a few pictures of my babies.  I can never get them in one shot unless they are sleeping on each other.   But I was happy enough with these :0)

Dragon Rip - cross stitch

Whew it's been a long month.  I worked on 3 pages before posting an update, since 2 of the pages were basically all black.  Nothing exciting about that.  But pages 15, 19 & 20 are now complete.  I struggle so much with this one.  I know it's not the confetti because when I would work day after day on the black I felt like pulling my hair out.  UGH!!!!!!  Will for sure rethink boring backgrounds again.  And the fabric, I can never say how much I just hate working with it.  So with trudging along & forcing myself to do this one & then a death in hubbies family I am really surprised that it just took me 21 days to do these 3 pages.
